SEC Sues Elon Musk for Delayed Disclosure of Twitter Stock Purchase

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk for failing to timely disclose his acquisition of Twitter (renamed X) stock.

Timely Disclosure

According to the complaint, Musk began accumulating Twitter stock in early 2022 and crossed the 5% threshold by March 14, which required disclosure. However, he disclosed his ownership only 11 days later, on April 4, 2022, after his stake had exceeded 9%. The SEC claims this allowed Musk to continue purchasing shares at "artificially low prices," leading to unjust enrichment of at least $150 million.

Investors who sold Twitter common stock during this period did so at artificially low prices and thus suffered substantial economic harm.

Elon Musk's Reaction

In a statement on platform X, Musk responded to the suit, describing the SEC as a "totally broken organization."

Twitter Acquisition and Changes

Musk initiated the acquisition of Twitter in April 2022 and completed it in October for $44 billion. He implemented changes to the platform, including account monetization, audio-video calls, an in-app AI chatbot, and long-form texts.

The SEC's lawsuit against Elon Musk for delayed disclosure of Twitter stock highlights the importance of adhering to federal securities laws to prevent unjust enrichment.
